LAND O’ LAKES - William Allen was on the phone with his ex-wife Sunday night and his live-in girlfriend apparently didn't like it, and soon he was getting jabbed with a ninja sword, according to Pasco sheriff's office report.
Naturally, deputies got two stories about what happened, but the gist of it was that one of them started yelling and then fists started flying. Dana Gordon said Allen slapped her across the face first, according to the report, but Allen said she punched him in the face seven, maybe eight times. That's when he spit on her and slapped her, according to the report.
Gordon, 37, then grabbed the sword, which has a 12- to 14-inch blade, and started poking Allen in the arms, legs and torso, causing several cuts, according to the report.
Gordon told deputies she held the blade to Allen and told him to leave her alone.
Allen, 39, was able to wrestle the sword away from her and then ran into the bedroom to call 911, according to the report.
When deputies arrived to the home at 21336 Aaron Court, they saw several cuts and scratches on Allen.
They had both been drinking, Allen told deputies, and he didn't want her to go to jail.
Gordon was arrested on a felony aggravated domestic battery charge. She is being held without bail at the Land O' Lakes Jail.
The sword was seized as evidence.

Wasn't sure where else to put this, but it's definitely a mind-blower...

A Brazilian schoolgirl was held Monday night for knifing 30 men to death.
The 17-year-old stunned cops by owning up to a serial killing spree that
started when she was 15.
She told detectives she wanted to confess before she turned 18 and could be
tried as an adult.
The girl - who can't be named because she is still a minor - said she began
targeting men in her home city of Sao Paulo, Brazil "for money, revenge and
to bring justice."
She even smiled as she reeled off her list of victims - which is feared to
make her the world's most prolific teenage serial killer. She calmly
bragged to police: "I don't have enough courage to hold a gun - but I can
hold a knife.
"I am confessing because I promised I would do so before becoming 18 - to
avoid upsetting my family."
The teen told how she always used the same knife - butchering one man for
throwing a glass of brandy in her face in a bar fight.
But police are still unclear about what drove her to keep on killing.
Sources said one theory is she was hired by gangland bosses as an assassin
because she was so innocent-looking. The teenager's sensational confession
came after she was arrested over a Sao Paulo street fight.
It shocked a country still reeling from the arrest of a TV crime show host
for allegedly arranging killings to boost ratings.

I had my niece (who was almost two) dial 911 accidentally at our house in Arkansas... No arrests or anything... Just explained to the dispatcher what happened... They sent a squad by later just to confirm though... Of course, this was 18 years ago

Sounds like he needed to find himself, as much of a cliche as that is... At least he came back... Most "men" don't...
